What’s Included In

Our Dog Obedience Training

Basic Commands for Everyday Success

We teach your dog essential commands like sit, stay, down, heel, and come. These basics are the foundation of polite, well-behaved dogs and are practiced in everyday settings so your dog learns how to behave in the real world.

Focus and Engagement Around Distractions

Training in San Diego comes with plenty of distractions. From other dogs to beachgoers, we help your dog learn how to focus on you no matter what is going on around them. This helps prevent reactivity and builds confidence in high-stimulus environments.

Leash Manners and Walking Control

Tired of your dog pulling or lunging on walks? We’ll teach your dog how to walk calmly at your side using humane and effective techniques. Enjoy peaceful walks through neighborhoods like Kearny Mesa, La Jolla, or Mission Bay without the frustration.

In-Home Behavior Reinforcement

Obedience training extends into the home. We’ll help correct behaviors like jumping, counter surfing, barking, and chewing by creating structure and routines that support good habits. You’ll learn how to reinforce commands and expectations every day.

Respect-Based Communication

Our training is about more than just commands. We help you build a respectful, two-way relationship with your dog by using calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and consistent expectations. This makes your dog more likely to listen to you without bribery or yelling.
